• Less than planned contribution from workover wells and drilling wells.
• Rise in water cut and decline in liquid production from existing wells.
• Loss of production due to nationwide lockdown for COVID-19 Pandemic. 

1.3  Crude oil production by Pvt/JVs in the PSC regime during April, 2020 was 615.80 TMT which is 3.73% lower than the monthly target and 19.25% lower when compared with actual production in April, 2019. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:

• RJ-ON-90/1- Mangala: Delay in hook-up of new wells, ESP failure, delay in workover wells revival and new injector due to COVID 19 impact. (CEIL)
• RJ-ON-90/1- Bhagyam: Artificial lifts (PCP) malfunction & delayed start-up of full field polymer injection. (CEIL)
